Flat feet

For example, say you have to heat a reaction to around 80°C for 17 hours. Well, you can stand there on your flat feet and watch the reaction all day. Me I m off to the reflux. 

Orthopedic joint hyperextensibility, flat feet, torticollis (a contracted state of the neck), kyphoscoliosis (backward and lateral curvature of the spinal column)... 

Many authors describe a number of transverse arches (Fig. 95-10). With the exception of the metatarsal heads, these arches do not transmit forces to the ground. The anterior metatarsal transverse arch consists of the five metatarsal heads, with the second metatarsal as its highest point. With weight-bearing, this arch is flattened. Depression of the anterior metatarsal transverse arch increases the weightbearing burden of the metatarsal heads, creating dysfunction. A second, posterior metatarsal arch consists of the bases of the five metatarsals. A third, tarsal arch has been described, consisting of the navicular, cuneiform, and cuboid bones. This arch assists in flexibility and the rotation motions of the foot. Diminution or absence of the tarsal arch is evident in pes planus (flat feet). 

Pes planus, commonly known as flat feet, is a very frequent diagnosis made by patients and physicians. It is a condition in which there is a dropping of the medial longitudinal arch. The patients will state that their feet are tired after standing or walking, and eventually pain will develop. They may have looked at their feet, noticed the dropping of the arch, and decided that this was their problem. Many will arrive with variously prescribed or over-the-counter arch supports that they have been using with limited results. 

In ISO 815, two sizes of disc test piece are allowed, either 29 mm in diameter and 12.5 mm thick or 13 mm in diameter and 6.3 mm thick, the same as used for creep. The larger size is preferred for low set materials because of the greater accuracy. The measurements of test piece thickness are made using a flat foot and not with a domed foot as was earlier practice (see Section 2.1 in Chapter 7). 

There is plenty of force in a long-range van der Waals force, at least for facultatively flat-footed bugs. There is also the important lesson to us humans that the consequences of flattening can be enormous. 

There is a lot of copal on the market from Madagascar. Its age is not known but it is rich in inclusions, especially flat-footed beetles. 

For all his substantial contributions to chemical kinetics, Eyring was not one-dimensional. He was an active member of the Mormon church, choosing the University of Utah, near the center of the Mormon religion, over Princeton. He enjoyed his family and obviously familiar with the important neurotransmitter acetyl-choline, he named one daughter Colleen and promised to name a second one acetyl-Colleen. He could also apparently jump flat-footed from the floor to a table and would cheerfully demonstrate the skill. 

Malrotation of the tibia leads to an unequal foot progression angle which is cosmetically often unacceptable. Whilst malrotation of the femur can be accommodated by the hip which is a ball and socket joint, this is not feasible in the knee which is a hinge joint. In addition, external rotation in particular has functional implications because in this position, there is excessive pressure on the medial side of the foot, leading to pes planus (flat foot) and also the development of anterior knee pain.

If the patient is in a state of shock (f.e., pale, faint or collapsed, sweating, cold) treat by lying flat, or preferably with the legs raised approximately one foot, loosen clothing around the neck, keep warm but not hot (one to two blankets) and transfer to hospital or obtain medical attention urgently ... 

Atmospheric Tanks The term atmospheric tank as used here applies to any tank that is designed to be used within plus or minus several hundred pascals (a few pounds per square foot) of atmospheric pressure. It may be either open to the atmosphere or enclosed. Minimum cost is usually obtained with a vertical cylindrical shape and a relatively flat bottom at ground level. 

In the case of a car journey, this is the equivalent of the driver keeping his foot flat down on the accelerator for the entire journey, except at the terminal point, when he brakes as hard as possible. 

The number of irrigation or drip-points or entrance points per square foot of flat surface of the tower should be uniform for orifice, weir-type gravity, or pressure distributors, and need not exceed 10 points/ft [82]. This imiformity must not be disturbed by support rings for supporting the distributor itself. The distribution must include the area adjacent to the wall, and the design must not force more liquid at the wall where it contacts the packing. Uniformity of points of distribution to the packing surface is extremely important. The volume flow per point must be carefully calculated. 

Mounting pads shall be provided for the pump and all drive train components. The pads shall be larger than the foot of the mounted equipment to allow leveling of the baseplate without removal of the equipment. The pads shall be fully machined flat and parallel. Corresponding surfaces shall be in the same plane within 150 pm/m (0.002 in./ft) of distance between the pads. This requirement shall be met by supporting and clamping the baseplate at the foundation bolt holes only. 

Late that afternoon, Dennis came back down to the edge of the river looking for me. He found me washing out my tennis shoes on a large, flat rock that the shifting height of the river had conveniently exposed just a foot or so above the water line. Doubtless... 

A rather similar outfit with three 6-foot sections of boom is used in southern nurseries, with a low-pressure manifold, and using flat-spray pattern, 80 Teejet nozzles No. 8001 or 80015 manufactured by Spraying Systems Co., Bellwood, 111. These are spaced 20 inches apart on the boom at a spraying height of 17 to 19 inches. Pressures used are usually 50 to 60 pounds. 

Gap spacings 3, 10, and 25 microns were maintained between two standard porous clay plates, ground flat. The largest measured yield was 5.23 cc. per hour, per square foot. 

The interpretation of the effects of such drift, particularly its potential for adverse effects on human health, is dependent on some of the parameters of environmental behavior shown on Table VIII. The dose is given at 2 lbs/acre and translated into a deposit level of 20 mg/square foot, which is more useful in the interpretation of exposure data. The figures given for the deposit amount from spray drift at 100 yards and 1/2 mile are the figures for drift from a coarse spray on flat land for small target areas and are average drift amounts. The figure of 20 mg/kg is the NOEL for 2,4-D. 

The continental slope includes up to 40% of the seafloor area it descends down to depths of 2000 m. It is steep and cut by submarine valleys and canyons. Its lower part, located at depths of 1500-2000 m, is referred to as the continental foot in selected cases, the boundary between the slope and the foot is poorly expressed. The floor of the basin (35% of the total area) represents a flat accumulative plain with a surface that gradually declines toward the center of the sea.
